Butler has been identified by Captain Jones as a sailor wlto was on board the Flintshire in ISDO under the name of Richard Pascoe.
The British Consul and Captain Eraser having signed Butler's discharge papers from the Swanhilda under the name of Weller, his attorneys now claim he is Weller, and demand that the applicants for his extradition shall prove the contrary. Butler now claims to be Weller, and fears are gaining ground that the police cannot prove lie is not Weller.
